Absolutely. If members can’t pickup their allocation they can designate a (21+) Colorado Trustee responsible to pickup the beer in their place. Email [email protected] with the full name of the designated (21+) trustee and this person will be on file to pickup up your beer. It is up to members to communicate what orders should be picked up with their Trustee. See below for more on Trustees.

FATED members only enewsletters will announce anticipated release dates. A note on timing, much of the FATE Brewing Company FATED beer is aged for long periods of time on oak. We are at the mercy of Mother Nature while she does her lovely thing. This means that beer will not be available before its announced release date. Additionally, should a FATED Beer not meet our quality standards its release may be delayed or we may even choose not to release it at all. In the event a membership brew does not meet our quality standards we may offset the release with a beer or merchandise of equal or greater value. We apologize in advance should this cause any inconvenience.

These emails will also give members the chance at extra allotments and share other insider info.

We will periodically hold FATED Releases at our Brewpub in Boulder, CO when members can pickup bottles and merchandise. Once an allocation has been signed for and picked up by a member (or Trustee) FATE Brewing Company is no longer responsible for it. Orders will not be replaced after they have been signed for.

No, unfortunately we are unable to ship beer.

Given the off chance you cannot stop by during the Release simply email [email protected] at least 48 hours prior to visiting our Brewpub to pickup your allocation.

If you are unable to pickup your member allocation prior to 91 days following the Release we owe you a thank you because we will drink it. No refunds or exchanges will be issued for items not picked up by that date.

Depending on availability. If there is a surplus your membership with give you the opportunity to purchase more as none will be sold to the general public.
